grp cable systems

Captrad Ltd

Was established in 1999 based in Wigan in the North of England. Originally Captrad Ltd supplied Industrial Chemicals into various

industries across the UK., and as time passed we were always looking for new business opportunities and thus this is how we

have ended up supplying a wide range of Composite Products across the world.

As a result Captrad Ltd has tried to bring the whole composite

solution under one umbrella. Thus we now have customers from a variety of industries from: Rail, Offshore, Constructions, Civils

and Water, all being able to purchase quality products from one place ensuring continuity of service.

We have been able to set up a network of satellite offices around the world to help improve and maintain customer service levels.

Specifications The cable trays are manufactured glass by the pultrusion process from isophthalic polyester thermosetting resin reinforced with E glass giving a high strength dimensionally accurate and thermally stable product. The pultruded sections fully comply with all the requirements of EN13706, grade E17 – Specification of pultruded profiles. The standard polyester resin is a halogen free fire retardant grade satisfying the requirements of BS476 Pt7, Class 2 and ASTM E84 25 sec - Surface spread of flame. Higher grade fire retardant products can be manufactured to order including the high fire resistance, low smoke and low toxicity required by the London Underground (LUL). Cable Trays can also be made to order in the highly corrosion resistant vinyl ester resin. GRP cable trays are normally electrical non-conductive but for those applications with risk explosive atmospheres an anti-static version is available to order. The cable tray is slotted along the length the cable tray also has a unique accepting slot that allows couplers to be inserted with ease insitu. All cable trays have a bespoke click fit lid.

Specifications Each cable trough comprises the trough and a cover designed to fit into the trough. They are

made from a mixture of recycled plastics primarily polyolefin's (polyethylene,

polypropylene etc). These materials demonstrate good resistance performance to acids, alkalis, fuel

oils, petrol, mineral oils and other common substances and offer good UV stability and

weathering performance. They have high mechanical strength and have been used to

protect HV, LV and communication cables against mechanical damage. They have been tested to

various European Norm specifications. All troughs can be supplied with locks to prevent theft and when being laid are designed to interlock with

the covers being installed in a manner to overlay the locked joints to add further protection to the

cables. I have attached various images and a copy of the original flyer which details the bullet point

GRP Uni Strut Profiles

GRP Uni-Strut type profile

Product description The 41x41x3.2mm mm grp uni-strut profile is made by the pultrusion process giving a section that is structurally strong and dimensionally consistent . The uni-strut profile matches the steel strut so that it takes the same shaped nuts, with and without springs that are widely available for the steel strut. The profile meets all the requirements of EN 13706 – Specification of grp profiles – Grade E17 and is manufactured under ISO 9000 registered quality control system. The profile is stocked in 6m lengths, colour grey. We also have the half strut available at 41mm x 25mm x 3mm

The Manufacturing Process

Captrad Cable Trays are produced via GRP Pultrusions that are fibres that are impregnated with a thermosetting resin and pulled through a

heated die where the curing process takes place. Different laminate lay-ups are possible with reinforcements of mats, fabrics and multiaxials. The finished profiles are cut to length by a saw at the end of the line.
